Her character looks cheap and as I've said before, I find it embarrassing that she is wearing something so utterly cringe-worthy and tacky. It does nothing for her and I find her utterly pointless as a character also, sorry....

I agree her characters look is 'cheap' and 'skanky' looking but thats is up to the costume designers and production/director. If thats the look they are going for ie modern 1970's outlook, then the clothes/appearances are what the actors must wear. If they said "i'm not wearing that" then they more than likely be out of that particalar job. You can blame the performance of the performer but not the appearance.

I dislike both to be fair, her character and appearance. Not a good role model in a ny sense in my opinion. I also feel she really doesn't bring anything to the film! But again, that's just my opinion.

I agree with this;

just there to give birth to the men, die as a plot point or subordinately run around after her boyfriend with no thought other than that in her little featherhead. That really stuck in the craw.

An alternative for Saldana for me would have been Naomie Harris, she has the look and the maturity for the role.

Good call; I've no problem at all with Saldana in the role and from other films I've seen her in (most notably her work in Avatar even if she was a 9ft tall blue cat) I think she's a decent actress. It's more telling that her filmography isn't the best but IMO she's usually come out looking pretty good all the same.

Harris is a good alternate pick though.

Anyone got new theories on Cumberbatch's character identity since those leaked pics? Not being a big Trek man I don't really know the history or characters particularly outside of the films but I believe Abrams/the writers have said he's playing an existing character, not a new creation like Nero. My "evil" Vulcan theory has gone out of the window seeing as he doesn't have the ears so anyone got new ideas?

Here is a countdown of the 'big 10', from this lot, hard to say. http://www.emagill.com/rants/eblog070.htmlIf an original character, may be a re-interpretation of Khan, if newly designed, I would go for a relative of Bana's character in first one.

Could be Dr.Roger Corby from the season 1 episode '' What are Little Girls Made Of? ''.He was a mad scientist type who created sentient androids.I cant help but think his apparance and costume is reminescent of that episode.

Has there ever been a franchise yet when we didn't know who the villain was going to be like this? Is there going to be a backlash when it's confirmed that it's Khan?

Well they haven't even released an official synopsis yet have they? I'll admit it's unusual that when Cumberbatch and Eve were officially confirmed as new cast members they didn't announce character names but Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Marion Cottilard and Joseph Gordon Levitt were confirmed cast in TDKR well before any press releases about the film's story and who they were playing came out. Give it a bit of time and when Paramount put out something official they'll probably be revealed then.

I think you ought to be escorted off the bridge for that one.

As for the fight, he doesn't appear to be vulcan/womulan (as Kirk would say with 'numb tongue'). He looks human, but if he's able to go hand-to-hand with a vulcan, then it's possible he's genetically engineered. Although that sounds very similar to Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

"I put no stock in religion. By the word 'religion', I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called 'The Will of God'. Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves."

What Emyr said. I'm going to stay away from Trek news from now on, I don't want to know who Cumberbatch is until I'm sat in the cinema. Bye.

Though I hope he is a new character or someone from Section 31 or Batman.
